Ok i have got the week of this week so i am having a look at the team for next year?Give it a look and tell me what you think? I will give you a reason why i will be picking them? My rookies are yet to be dicided who my rookies are as the rookies arnt finallised.
Defence: Brendon Goddard(Lock and Loaded), Bryce Gibbs(Nothing to say), Brett Delidio (Hopefully MPP and Gun), Beau Waters(Man Crush), Brad Symes(Segull), Brian Lake(Ball Magnet and Cheap), Michael Coad(Like the looks of this guy)
Midfield: Dane Swan(Locked and Loaded), Joel Selwood (Gun), Leigh Montagna(Cheap and Saints will do well), Lenny Hayes(Cheap as), Kane Cornes(GWS signing and Cheap), 1st round draft pick
Ruck: Aaron Sanderlands(Always in my team), Hamish Mac(GWS rookie)
Forward: Lance Franklin(Favourite Player),Paul Chapman(All out Gun),Matthew Pavlich(Always Gun), Mark Lcras(Will be the next big thing),Nick Riewalt(Cheap and in Saints), Jonno Brown(Cheap as), Jason Porpliza(Rookie Price)
Give me your thoughts off other players to?
Grimes? Mundy? Barlow? Morabito?
I reckon next year might be the changing of the guard with guys like Rockliff, Fyfe, Sloane, Scully, Hanebary, Shuey etc putting up some big scores consistently, will be more competitive next year as I think there will be a lot more gun uniques if people are willing to take the risk.
Agree with allshow with Morabito, Mundy (only if Sandi is fit) & Grimes (can we deal with another injury which is a dead cert?).
Other guys I'm looking at:
Kruezer (dirt cheap)
Rich, Blease, Palmer, Ellard, Ward (all could lift to another level if willing to take the risk)
Duncan (if he can break into Cats side he will be a gun mid)
Ziebell (finally hitting his strides)
Dangerfield (we've seen what he can do in the mid under a new coach, what about a new team like Geelong?)
Davis (#1 selected player at new club GWS at rookie price hopefully)
Malceski & Waters (will be cheaper than their potential and fairly reliable)
5 words Sam Jacobs and Matthew Leunberger :)
Sandilands should not be an automatic selection anymore
i've thinking about next year aswell, Leuenberger will be a white-hot pick, he's really showing what he can do, rather have Fyfe than Pav just cause he will keep developing and ofcourse Lenny and Hmac

+1 - Mummy - lock and load
+1. My ruck combo will likely be Cox & Mumford or McEvoy. How anyone could write off Dean Cox is beyond me, as long as his pre-season in uninterrupted I'll be backing him in as the Eagles are a premiership chance next season.
Hmac and Kreuzer maybe. I can see that as a possible ruck combo 2012- kreuzer is due for a breakout year as a (1st?) draft pick :P
I will be thinking Cox and Luenbager then Hmac as reserve :)
Then theres Gazza Ablett who will start in my team for about $440k
i may go heppell next year - 2nd year rule is a load of bullshower imo and he'll keep spending more and more time in the midfield as he is a star

Good Luck - Second year rule covers pretty much everyone, I cant think of a notable exception right now, someone will surely give us a couple.....

Rockliff, Redden
i reckon there is a second year rule. it is that stage when players belive they have found there feet and get too comfotable and you can say he wont do it or he is a better pleyer but it happens to about 99.9 % of players. Shuey is an exception because how many games did he play in 2010?
btw schammer has pretty much said he is retiring at the end of the year so cross him off. I have an ultimate smokey and im not telling anyone. I started the year with redden this year hoping this guy turns out the same way
How about Billie Smedts, the Cats No. 1 draft pick this year but was injured and didn't play seniors all season?

fyfe wasnt that good in his first year, guys like rockliff, barlow, anthony, palmer all pulled decent scores after great starts.

I had Fyfe last year as a rookie and he was quite servicable, avg 70 or something I believe. However, if he was a cyclist or a horse there would be a massive investigation into his rapid improvement this year, it's been incredible!

Thanks for the heads up, name sounds familiar but didn't know he was their highest draft pick. As long as he plays NAB Cup I'll pick him as Geelong seem to be selecting some good kids.
Ok i have been bored during school and now i have made a basic outline of not a bad team so far for the start of next season
Of course there are going to be million of Changes to the team before round one. Please comment on other players you may think off.
Defence
Brendon Goddard, Heath Shaw, Greg Broughton, Beau Waters, Jack Grimes, Phil Davis, 1st Round Draft Pick
Dane Swan, Joel Selwood, Michael Barlow, Lenny Hayes, Andrew Gaff, 1st Round Pick
Aaron Sanderlands/Matthew Krusier, Hamish Mac
Lance Franklin, Matthew Pavlich, Nick Riewalt, Alan Didiak, Johnathon Brown, Jason Porplzia, Brendon Fevola
I have done some pricing of the players using this years magic number of 4012 and there average of this season.
Magic number will rise to 2010 MN.
Even as a rampant blues supporter I'm not entirely convinced Kreuz is ready for the support ruck role. I think there will be some tasty cash-cow ruckmen next year just like Zac Smith. There's 2 new teams, one brand new..I think by the time teams start being properly selected there will be so many to choose from and some big trades
hey dale, just my opinions but not sold on Davis but if he gets a significant or tempting discount, could be a goer.
Broughts - really have to wait to see how Lyon uses him but that's Captain Obvious - i would've thought enough people burnt this year to stay away??
Barlow could be a goer but i'm going to wait for pre-season form and you might be in a bit of 'premium mid-pricer' territory there ...
i think Pav, Roo, Dids & Brown-Dawg are too 'old' to be in your starting team ... though J Brown's 'cheapness' will determine that decision ...
J959, I doubt I'll be touching Pav or Dids unless some ridiculous pre season shines comes through. Roo (N and J) are imo, still potentiallyfantasy relevant, and I'll be watching them personally: Browns pricing will be too ridiculous to ignore. Barlow and Broughts will have a decent probability of featuring in my team. As you said though, only if Broughts is looking like a role change.

Sure you have made a mistake there, what will It actually rise to?
I hope it's 2010, very cheap players then. :)
Sorry. 2009 Magic Number. Should be rought 5,350.
A) how can you afford all these players and B) Greg B is a spud
A) he can't, probably not, even with discounts, as he didn't put in bench players. But, based off the 2011 magic number, he might be able to scrape in, however as posted by Barlow 21, the magic number in 2012 will likely reflect the magic number in 2010 rather than 2011.
B) broughts isn't a spud, he was carrying some injury, and had a role change Under a new coach, if he gets more midfield time, would be a great pick up. We know he can score, just look at his mid season sreak :P
A) I agree with Voldy. Not possible all those players can be afforded, way too much cash. Swanny will start at around 525k.
B) Disagree everywhere. Greg B isn't a spud, but he isn't a gun who had a bad year. I think he just had a blinder last year and now he's gone back to the norm. Plus Freo didn't do as well this year, that could reflect on his scoring.
yes, I was irrational with calling Greg B a spud, but he's on blacklist of most DTers
that's what makes him a good pick up ;)

Bit like a friend of mine named Chad Cornes maybe??
cornes was blacklisted by a majority of DTer? I thought nobody picked him basically because he was old and his DT output had decreased...

But like you said "blacklist = potential pickup". I mean for season 2011. ;)
hey, blacklist= potential pick up in the sense that, if blacklisted by a majority of DTers, makes decent players nice smokies- especially as people will be letting emotions rule their heads rather than logic ;)
Yep, cool. Mate, do you know why everyone seems to start arguing with me?
because you tipped port to beat collingwood? seems like reason enough for me :P

Yeah well, apart from that, that was one arguement.
Because there isn't a font called
sarcastica. If there was that's all i'd use. ;) Coz that's all i write.
Don't take that comment as an excuse for the Port vs Collingwood one, coz it isn't, i just..... not improtant.
I think PowerBug was serious when he said Port was gonna beat Collingwood

saying broughton is a spud.......
yes he had a bad year but every single backman last year had a shocking year except maybe Gibbs and Deledio
the rest of the competition's backmen were a lottery to choose and Broughton should have been one of them
